What happened to the optional power seats in front (10-way for driver and 8-way for passenger)?

Did any of those have washout interiors? Did your sister's Oldsmobile Alero have wash out interiors?

If you don't like it, go get something you do like.
Well the two trims of bronco i'm looking at dont have wash out interiors so what was your point again?

Its not like we're asking for the 22 way power seats in a Lincoln.

It's pretty damned easy to make any required adjustments, before putting it in drive. Y'all are just searching for shit to complain about, now. It's all almost like you can't be happy, unless you're complaining.
Ha. Worrying about rolling into a ditch while manually adjusting your seats is really reaching. Some must adjust the seats differently then me. I've never been in grave peril while moving my seat.

Absolutely, I have gotten use to adjusting my power seats in real-time without fear of rolling into a ditch. Doing this manually is a death sentence.
Hahaha so true!

Sure. But his comment is still hilarious and dead on. I drive a work van without power seats and it’s a n amusement park ride lol, you’ll go flying all the way back if you hit that while moving

Folks need to bitch about something, apparently. It's why I got off social media (best thing I have done in years). The constant need for negativity is so damned tiresome.

I would be willing to bet that most people saying manual seats are fine, haven't had to adjust them for a 6'5+ body. I am sure most tall people would be willing to back that statement up. It should be an option, even if it is stand alone.

I thought adding leather seats to the 4door BL removed the washout interior, added carpet and therefor power seats, but I checked the B&P again, and when clicking on leather seats, it still shows manual seats.

At 60K for my build I'd like power seats. Cooled and heated. Power Lumbar too. Same with the steering wheel adjustment. But I guess if I want all that I'll have to get a Defender.

Or a $50k grand cherokee that can go 95% of the places the Bronco owners will ever go.

Heck my f150 has more options on it and creature comforts as a 60k Bronco and it too can go 95% of the places Bronco owners will ever go.

and the only reason I want powered seats is because my wife and I are on complete ends of the spectrum in seating positions both height wise, distance from the wheel and reclining position. Adjusting all that manually will be a PITA. But then again, power seats still wont get me the memory setting seats.

You are reading and posting on an Internet Forum. Internet Forums are a form of social media (there are many). You have not gotten off social media.

Yeah, it's confusing. Hoping it's a B&P glitch since all of the leather seat options cost the same $2,195. No way is that leather worth $2,195 all by itself.

After spe-cing my Wildtrak, I was looking at about $62,000 with taxes. However, I could not help but notice that I would be paying this amount of money for a manual 6-way seats and could not stop laughing. I am currently driving an suv I bought for $32000 and it has power leather seats and all the cool interior stuff.
And how about those medium sandstone leather seats on the WT ???.
Someone needs to go back to the drawing board on the Wildtrak interior and pay the same attention as was paid on the outside, because I am not going to spend double and get a downgrade.
Before B&P it was heresy for me to even think of an option outside the Bronco but now I am openly flirting with all kinds of options. If Ford does not move fast, this trickling out of cancellations will become a floodgate.
That said. it is encouraging that the CEO is listening; fingers crossed.
Its the first production year and some options are limited. The vehicle is designed to be washable (BD & BL vinyl) and it has an open roof. So electric seats are not available on any cloth seats (water can leak on the motor). Electric adjustability only available on the leather (4dr), which is actually leather trimmed vinyl. It is what it is, this year. The electric seat components are better protected with leather/vinyl.

Like you, ive had electric adjustable cloth seats on other ford vehicles, usually a ~$600 upgrade. In this case to get the greater comfort that electric motor adjustment provides tall people, I paid the (!) $2,100 upgrade for leather/vinyl seats. Thats the way it is with this unique vehicle.
